Samantha Ruth Prabhu‘s Shaakuntalam was the talk of the town recently. The looks that she served was just authentically beautiful.

In the mythological drama film, Samantha played the led role as Shakuntala alongside with Dev Mohan as King Dushyantha. Based on Kalidasa’s Abhijnana Shakuntalam, Shaakuntalam is a love story of King Dushyantha and Shakuntala, daughter of sage Vishwamitra and nymph Menaka. Due to a sage’s curse, Dushyant forgets all about Shakuntala, until destiny brings them together again.

Before Samantha took on the role of Shakuntala, 9 Indian beautiful actresses had played the role. 

Taking it to her social media account, the 35 year old actress pays tribute to all the actresses who have played Shakuntala in the past. The picture feature actresses Dorothy Kingdon, K.R. Vijaya, MS Subbulakshmi, B  Saroja Devi, Jayashree, Anita, Sandhya, Jayshree, and Surabhi Kamala Bai as Shakuntala.

She quoted “It has truly been the greatest honour”.

Samantha poured her heart and soul to this film. For instance, Shakuntala’s character is adorned with floral decorations all over her arms and neck. Despite having a flower allergy, she bravely finished the task without a hitch. Also, she had dubbed for three languages in the movie.

All of Samantha’s hard work has paid off. Upon the movie’s release, many movie buffs have applauded and praised the acting skills that she delivered in this mythological movie.

Distributed by MSK Cinemas, Shaakuntalam is still showing in theatres. The OTT release for this film is bagged by Amazon Prime and is expected to be released in May 2023.
